This provisional change will utilize your “Preferred Name” in the following areas:

  • Bergen Email;
  • Bergen Portal;
  • Username/display name.

Please Note:  Your name change will revert to your legal name prior to graduating or transferring unless a legal document of an official name change is presented.
